Lemon Salmon

Anyone could make this salmon, anyone! This whole meal is incredibly easy actually, it is very simple and basic. It's also healthy and light, but nothing about these flavors were boring. You'll fall in love with the way everything comes together so nicely. I served the salmon with brown rice and a beet salad. Squeezing fresh lemon juice in the brown rice once it's cooked adds a nice finish. I used a jar of pickled beets and dressed them with a drizzle of olive oil, sprinkle of salt and a small handful of freshly chopped parsley.

Serve with my lemony brown rice and beet salad.
